A rattle claw fishing bait/lure assembly, including a body, a plurality of raised areas located along a length of the body, a plurality of legs operatively connected to first and second sides of the body, and a plurality of claws operatively connected to one end of the body, wherein each of the plurality of claws further includes a compartment located along a portion of each of the plurality of claws, and a plurality of rattles retained within the compartment. To use the rattle claw fishing bait/lure assembly, after the rattle claw fishing bait/lure assembly is attached to a fishing line and cast into the water, the user begins to jig or otherwise move the selected rattle claw fishing bait/lure assembly through the water. The jigging movement will cause the rattles in the compartment to create a rattling sound that will attract the fish.

A lure includes a body, a weight, a guide member and an elastic member. The body is hollow and has a head in a front portion and a tail in a rear portion thereof. The weight is inside of the body so as to be movable in a front-rear direction. The guide member is in the body and configured to guide movement of the weight in the front-rear direction. The elastic member is in the body and is configured to generate an energizing force to move the weight in a forward direction. The weight is movable backward against the energizing force of the elastic member and one of the weight and the elastic member is inserted into an inside of the other.

A lure having a body with a line tie and one or more hooks attached to the body. The body may be formed by a head portion and a tail portion that is removably attached to and from the head portion. The lure may also include one or more noisemaking elements.

A sound wave emission system includes a substrate, a sound wave device, and a power source. The sound wave device is mounted on the substrate and configured to emit sound waves. The power source is mounted on the substrate and electrically coupled to the sound wave device. The volume, rhythm, and duration of the sound waves emitted by the sound wave device are controlled to simulate sounds of different kinds of fish in different situations.

A sonic stimulation and detection device includes an enclosure mounted on a fishing rod having to a fishing line attached to and extending along the rod. A microphone element is mounted in the enclosure and is acoustically coupled to the line through the enclosure and the rod line to couple sounds of fish contact with the line to the microphone. The microphone may be coupled to a headphone. A sound generator is mounted in the enclosure and is acoustically coupled to the line through the enclosure and the rod to couple fish simulating sounds generated thereby to the line to attract fish to a lure attached to the line. The enclosure is shaped to efficiently couple sounds coupled from the line to the microphone and sounds generated by the sound generator to the line.

Fishing lures that can mimic the movement of a fish or crustacean are described. The fishing lures can generate a vibrating action in water and can avoid snagging. In embodiments the fishing lures include a wire section, a blade section, and a main body section. The wire section that extends through one of a plurality of holes in the blade section to a side that faces the main body section. The wire section includes a bent portion, and the wire section extends from the bent portion through another of the plurality of holes of the blade section to the side that faces the main body section. When the fishing lure is pulled forward through water the blade section vibrates around the wire section.

A lure includes a body, a weight, a guide member and an elastic member. The body is hollow and has a head in a front portion and a tail in a rear portion thereof. The weight is inside of the body so as to be movable in a front-rear direction. The guide member is in the body and configured to guide movement of the weight in the front-rear direction. The elastic member is in the body and is configured to generate an energizing force to move the weight in a forward direction. The weight is movable backward against the energizing force of the elastic member and one of the weight and the elastic member is inserted into an inside of the other.

A fishing lure clapper device may include a fishing lure such as a spoon lure or spinner lure. A strike member may be loosely attached to the fishing lure. The strike member may have at least one water flow contact surface. The water flow contact surface may be at least partially concave and/or at least partially convex. Accordingly, throughout retrieval of the lure on a fishing line through water in a water body, flow of the water against the water flow contact surface of the strike member may cause the strike member to move at random orientations and repetitively strike or clap against the side of the fishing lure, creating vibration and clicking or clapping sounds in the water to attract fish and agitate or entice the fish to strike the lure.

A fishing lure having interchangeable inserts includes a lure body having a front end, a rear end, a left side, a right side, a top side, and a bottom side. At least the left side, but in some embodiments also the right side, includes an insert slot with an opening proximate the rear end. The insert slot has at least one pair of opposing flanges. An insert engages the insert slot and has a catch at a forward end thereof adapted for engaging the snap aperture of the lure body. An outer surface of the insert with a natural attractant is visible through the insert slot between the flanges. The insert is preferably one of many available inserts that all have varying outer surface characteristics, such as color, pattern, texture, attachments, and the like. A fishing lure attachment cooperative with the inserts is used with existing fishing lures.
